Gate Launches Its Venture Capital Fund

Gate.io is backing the launch of a new initiative to invest in early-stage crypto protocols (tokens) and fintech startups (equities).

Gate Ventures is a global venture capital operation focused on investing in decentralized infrastructure, ecosystems, and applications that will reshape the world in the digital age. Endorsed by Gate’s ecosystem, Gate Ventures offers financing, operational resources, and expertise to the crypto community for next-gen innovations.

The investments at Gate Ventures will cover a broad spectrum. Technical and financial infrastructure is one of its three main focuses. The industry has witnessed continuing innovation waves in Layer 1, Layer 2, and cross-chain solutions, which lead to the future of mass adoption. Cryptocurrency is an asset class by nature. Financial infrastructure like custody, banking, spot / derivatives matrix, and data analytics services and solutions are extremely crucial to the crypto market. From infrastructure to applications, there is a long way to build. This is where crypto-native ecosystems grow. In the previous market circles, the world has seen a fast growing ecosystem built on Ethereum. In the next phase, there will be diversified ecosystems built on multiple protocols. Mass adoption asks for sophisticated applications. At the application layer, users interact, exchange, and accrue values. Similar to the Internet in the early days, crypto applications are poised to transform all aspects of people’s lives and create a digital world of what we call as the “Metaverse”.

Portfolio companies will receive investments up to millions of dollars and access to the resources and supports essential to success. Gate Ventures also offers grants to open source projects building the future of web3 and open finance.

It is not only an investor, but a builder. At Gate Ventures, people are motivated to “BUIDL”, a call for minds and hands to make contributions to the crypto industry. Gate Ventures is actively hiring for investment associates and analysts. Self-driven, visioned minds are welcomed.
